• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Help! Debris found in my engine - 610/630 clutch issues

The how-to thread made it look pretty easy. Heat up the end of the rivet, helper holds it over the vice with a quarter under the rivet head, and peen it with a punch.

I built a boat when my first daughter was born, some 25 years ago now. The side planks were copper riveted. While copper is a softer metal, the idea is the same. Pean the heads over a washer 'till they're tight. Was easy to do, works out way cool.

The same thing can be done with a rivet style master link, but everybody uses a tool now.
 
Hello there.Lately the clutch side on my TE610 08 is a bit louder than it used to be.Its kind of a clanking noise pretty much as a dry clutch from Ducati for example but not that loud.When i press the clutch lever stops and when the lever is released it appears again syncronised with the engines revs and heard better on lower revs.Its not a big failure or something since the clutch engages disengages smoothly and so does the gears.My oil screens and oil filter are clean too.My TE has 26000km on the clock and it just feels that things are now a bit loose in there and need tighening.Any ideas?

Clutch bushing or those washers.
 
The clutch bushing is a pretty easy fix. The washers are a bit more involved, but not terrible, and well worth the effort.

Yep. Piece of cake. Pull the clutch basket off and the bushing slides right off. If you're already changing the spring cups, it's a no-brainer.

Damn it. Mine is doing the exact same thing. Haven't found any debris yet though.

I need to do mine soon also. Buy the rivets and clutch bushing from Halls and the cup spring washers from Indy Unlimited on advrider.com. Then we can both do at the same time and probably save some on labor. I plan to use a machine shop to press in the rivets same as stock. Not switching to threaded or DIY hammering.

610 - I also get (#26 in diagram):

8000 72943

Two numbers listed depending on VIN I think, but specs identical.
 
When you guys replace those soft clutch spring washers, do you just order a Husky part or some aftermarket washers? Thx
 
Does anybody know what the best way of purchasing the cup washers from indy unlimited? email? website?
Are there any other sources?
 
Gudday guys,
I discovered, through sheer necessity, that the rivets can be worked cold quite successfully into a solid fixture by just using patience, care and a good ball peen hammer. I didn't have access to a air hammer or heat source and was too cheap to go buy one for the one job... :-) Just take your time and back the rivet head with something solid. I used the jaws of a big bench vise...
